VERBENA 
One of the most popular garden annuals for beds and 
massing and for a gorgeous display during the Summer 
months cannot be excelled, commencing to flower in July 
and continuing until frost. 
Verbena Hybrida Grandiflora Crimson Glow. In all the rather 
long list of Hybrida Grandiflora Verbena varieties there has 
been none in a crimson shade until Crimson Glow was intro¬ 
duced. The flowers are pure, self-colored, glowing crimson, 
wholly without even a small light eye. The individual florets 
are of good size, although as is characteristic of the reds in 
Verbena, they are not as large as some other colors, such as 
pink and lavender. Crimson Glow is one of the most vivid 
Verbena colors, and will occupy a prominent place in next 
season’s gardens. Pkt. 25c. 
Mammoth Mixed.

grance. Perennial sorts should be sown in Autumn and 
carried over in coldframe. Annual sorts may be sown out 
doors in March and will flower the first year from seed.

ZINNIA 
One of the most showy and satisfactory of our hardy an¬ 
nuals for beds, mixed borders and for cutting purposes. Easy 
to grow in any good garden soil. They commence flowering 
early in the Summer and continue until frost. 
Crown O’Gold Desert Gold. Desert Gold is an aristocrat among 
Zinnias. The flowers are large, double and well formed, on 
good cutting stems, generously produced on plants which 
reach a height of 2 y 2 to 3 feet. It is a good garden variety but 
its main claim to individuality and distinction is the delightful 
color combination of the flowers. The variety comprises the 
light and deep shades of gold while each petal is overlaid at 
the base with a deeper golden yellow. This bicolor effect is 
one of arresting beauty whether seen under artificial light or 
in daylight. Flowers will be produced about 60 days after the 
seed is planted. Pkt. 15c. See inside front cover.

Fantasy. Award of Merit, All-America Selections, 1935. The 
most distinctive new Zinnia. As different from the ordinary 
formal Zinnia as one could imagine, the delicate, lacy petaled 
flowers lend an air of friendly informality to the garden or 
flower arrangement. The rounded, medium-sized shaggy flow¬ 
ers are borne profusely on 2% to 3-foot plants, in a wide and 
varied color range which includes the brightest shades of red, 
yellow and orange, as well as the popular pastel pinks and 
cream. Finest Mixed, pkt. 15c. 
Scabious Flowered. Among the oddest and most attractive 
Zinnia forms, bearing a remarkable resemblance to the annual 
Scabiosa. The plants are extremely free flowering, 2 to 2% 
feet high, giving a wealth of bloom throughout the summer. 
While the color range includes all popular shades, it is par¬ 
ticularly rich in shades of crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow 
and pink. Mixed colors, pkt. 15c. 
Tom Thumb. These tiny flowered Zinnias have a charm the 
larger ones can never attain, and make a brilliant display. 
They come in attractive color combinations, red tipped gold, 
salmon and gold, primrose yellow with a hundred unusual 
intermediate shades. All colors mixed. 
DOUBLE DAHLIA FLOWERED. 2y 2 feet. Enormous double 
flowers are produced by robust branching plants. The flow¬ 
ers usually have slightly hollowed centers ringed with small 
tubular florets. The petals are quite loosely placed and tend 
to curl at the edges, giving the blossoms a crisp, fresh ap¬ 
pearance. 
Canary Bird. Rich canary yellow. 
Crimson Monarch. Deep crimson, large flowers. 
Golden Dawn. Golden yellow. 
Dream. Deep rosy lavender. 
Exquisite. Light rose, deep rose center. 
Oriole. Orange and gold bicolor. 
Scarlet Flame. Bright scarlet. 
Polar Bear. White. 
Mixed. 
DOUBLE LILLIPUT. 12 inches. A charming dwarf which 
is excellent for low borders or edgings. The plants are of 
tidy habit and produce a bounteous supply of very double 
pompon flowers about iy 2 inches across. The colors are 
bright and well varied. 
Mixed. 
DOUBLE GIANT. 2V6 feet. Plants are tall, branching, and 
vigorous. The flowers are usually brighter than the Dahlia- 
flowered type and are nearly as large. 
Mixed. 
DOUBLE ELEGANS (Cut and Come Again). 2 feet. These 
forerunners of the robust giant sorts produce relatively 
graceful plants adorned with fine double flowers about 2% 
inches in diameter, dome-shaped and evenly double. The 
colors are vivid. 
Mixed. 
HAAGEANA DOUBLE (Mexican Hybrids). The small flow¬ 
ered Mexican Zinnias have a charm all their own. The smaller 
flowers lend themselves to bedding and make a brilliant dis¬ 
play and yet have stems long enough to make fine bouquets 
for small vases and bowls. The mixture contains many attrac¬ 
tive colors and color combinations.
